The Canadian investment landscape now recognizes the need for impactful climate and technology solutions. Since its inception in 2016, Amplify Capital has steadily grown to manage $70million in assets, thanks to a series of impactful investments under Kathryn’s leadership. With a dedicated team of seven, the firm has deployed capital into 24 technology companies specializing in climate, health, and future work solutions across North America. Under Kathryn’s strategic vision, Amplify stands out with a focus on hard-tech industrial decarbonization, backing innovators like Carbon Upcycling Technologies, Hydrostor, Future Fields and AltTex.
